BREAK THE CHAINS.
Go to the Records and Learn Wisdom.
Editor Southern Alliance Farmer:
You know we People’s Party fol
lowers entertain very little confidence
in the old parties, as many of us north
and south have left those sinking ships
and taken refuge upon the People’s
Party platform. This seems very nat
ural for a man that thinks and believes
as we do. But my surprise is that the
democratic papers and speakers evi
dence so little faith in our congress
men. Every democratic paper sets
forth in bold, type the dangers of the
force bill if Harrison is elected, and
sets forth democratic claims for the
support of Cleveland or a stronger
democrat for president. Is all this be
cause they w r ant a man for president
who has sufficient influence to control
this Congress and succeeding Houses
to keep them from passing force bills?
The democrats in the House have a
majority of 148 in the lower house and
are only lacking of nine being equal in
the Senate, Yet the democratic speak
ers keep prating about a force bill.
Are they ready to do like us, say we
cannot trust the boys at Washington?
It is true they went off on the silver
bill, but surely they will not pass a
force bill when their friends south are
so bitter against it.
But for the education of some who
were like myself before I learned bet
ter, the laws are not made either by
the Senate or Lower House, but by a
mutual agreement of both bodies. The
House introduces bills and the Senate
either kills, amends, or passes such
bills. Senate bills pass that House
(congress) to take action, the lower
body either kills, amends, or pass such
bills. In case either House refuses to
concur in the amendments offered by
either body to their respective bills,
then a committee is appointed from
both Houses and said committee agree
and carry their agreement to their re
spective bodies and said bodies agree,
then it becomes a law; so you see
neither Senate or House make laws,
but only when both agree. Now if
our democrats afraid that a force bill
will be put upon the people, of whom
are they afraid. Is it the eighty-eight
republicans in the House or the 236
democrats. The democrats have been
in power for sixteen years in the
Lower House and at one time they
controlled both Houses, and did they
offer any bills to repeal those obnox
ious and pernicious laws upon
our statute books. If any democrat
can show such bill upon record well
might they say “Give us a chance.”
I hope they may be able to sit on the
fence and see the procession go by.
All men everywhere should call upon
them for the records and have them
show you where they have even intro
duced any matter into the House for
the protection of the laboring masses.
With a population of 62,000,000 peo
ple, with 420 representatives in Con
gress what do we find? 268 lawyers, 39
farmers and the others are from the
judge’s bench, pulpit, railway officers,
etc. I fear our Congress is only a
court for fees.
Democrats, if you are so afraid of
your men, come over and join us, for
our men have promised to do better
than they did in the old parties, for
they promise to vote for measures and
not for men or party. Whosoever
that will forsake the error of his way
and come promising to do better will
be enrolled on our books, and if he is
faithful we will fellowship him and go
on our way rejoicing.
Democrats, you self-righteous fel
lows, go to the records and then repent.

Can’t Get It.
Editor Southern Alliance Farmer:
I see in the Saturday Journal that
Alex. W. Bealqr has taken a hand in
politics, and that he is surprised that
he Alex. W. Bealer, has not received
letters asking him to make the race for
congress, any one else can see, and that
he has heard but little of the Third
Party in the State of Georgia, and
where it has shown any sign of vital
ity, that it was on the run with its toes
this way. And its dead that way. Well
if Mr. Bealer had been at Jefferson
Saturday, June 4th, 1892 he would have
found the People’s Party was on the
run, but running everything their way.
They have so far been able to run the
ring bosses out of the Bealer Journal
stripe.
In the meeting at Jefferson, there
■was over eight hundred people, and
consisted of what Mess Journal & Co.,
would call the hay-seed one gallus
crowd, or the ones who should stay at
home more, work harder and eat less.
The crowd was nearly solid for Peo
ple’s Party. Hon. Thad Pickett spoke
for an hour in the interest of People’s
Party, and was loudely cheered.
After him Col. W. I. Pike, spoke
half an hour trying to show wherein
the democratic party has not been
responsible for the condition of things
as they now exist. But made a failure,
only one man had the courage to even
try and cheer him.
The meeting then adjourned for an
hour, after which Hon. J. N. Twitty
and Col. J. A. B. Mahaffee, hurried
the two old parties in the presence of
six hundred amidst wild enthusiam.
You may put Jackson county in the
People’s Party column with five hun
dred majority. W. A. Me.
P. 8. It is the belief of what few
present democrats there are in the
country that jack ass brought from
Harmony Grove to Jefferson on the
first Tuesday in May to the democratic
taeetinghas proven their Jonah. Me.
Whisky and Beer.
Editor Southern Alliance Farmer:
The Iron side democracy, whiskey
and beer, flowed freely in this county
on the 17th. They nominated their coun
ty officers on that day. The like of
drunkness I never saw before. I told
some of the leading Third Party in this
county some time ago, to wait until af
ter the nomination and that there
would be plenty of defeated sore heads
to affiliate with us, the defeated candi
dates for tax collector, told me on Sat
urday after the nomination that the
Third Party would whip the fight if
they managed things right, the only
trouble here is they have the counting
of the votes and they are good at it,
they would count any party out,should
they poll ten to their oue. I know
whereof I speak. I have known as
good men as there is in this county
counted out by them, Sid Lewis, from
Sparty, counted out Dr. Gilbert his
wifes uncle some years ago. He was
teaching school here at the time. He
bragged to the doctor after the election
that he had got the votes in the box,
but did not get them counted. Gilbert
ran as an independent.
I think we ought to beat Crisp by all
means. I see that Hulsy of Atlanta is
a proble candidate for congress. He
ought to be beat, I know him. He mar
ried in this town. The democracy say
they are afraid of the negro, I tell
them it must be the menthey are afraid
of.
I write to give you the actual
facts, nothing more and nothing less.
Stir things from now until October
and I hope and pray we may succeed.
Yours Respectfully,
W. D. Pierce.
A FAST AGE.
Time and Distance Annihilated by Im
provement.—Quick time to Wash
ington and New York.
Washington, May 19.—Time and
distance have been almost annihilated
by the great improvements of the day.
Leaving Montgomery at 7 a. m., pas
sengers reach this city at 11.30 a. m.
and New York 3 p. m., the next day.
In going the other way the time is still
shorter, as those who leave New York
at 5 p. m., and Washington at lip. m.,
reach Montgomery at 9.25 p. m. the
next day. The road from Montgomery
to Atlanta, in general excellence, will
compare with any in the United States.
The track is good and the cars glide
along over splendid rails smoothly and
comfortably. The conductors are all
attentive and polite. The same can be
said of the Richmand & Danville road,
from Atlanta to Washington. The lim
ited train, which is fast becoming the
traveler’s favorite, makes less vhati a
dozen stops from the capital of the
State of Alabama to the capital of the
United States, a distance of 825 miles.
Their speed is an average rate of 33
milles an hour. The dining car service
is equal to that of the first class hotels
of the country. From here on to New
York, over the famous Pennsylvania
railroad, is a continuation of the rapid
transit and fine accommodations. All
the way there is a double track and for
a large portion of it four tracks. In
addition to this the block system of run
ning trains prevails and the danger
of accidents is minimized to a wonder
ful degree. The Pennsylvania has no
equal on the American continent.—
Montgomery Advertiser May 20,1892.
There will be a meeting held at Ac

BALM
Pure blood is what oils the machinery
of life, eases every movement of tho body,
removes stiffness of the joints, drives out
pain from the nerves, stimulates the brain,
protects the liver and kidneys from irrita
tion, enables physical exertion withont
fatigue, prolongs life, and makes men and
women perfect in health and feature.
Good blood and good brain are inseper
able. Aim to keep the blood pure by using
the only true blood remedy, B. B. B. (Bo
tanic Blood Balm.)
Miss S. Tomlinson, Atlanta, Ga., says:
“For many years I have been afflicted
with rheumatism combined with severe
kidney troubles, indigestion and nervous
PTTI7TTM A TTRM prostratidh. Several

the use of B. B. 8., and its effect was like
magic. Rheumatic pains ceased, my kid
neys were relieved, and my constitution
improved at once.”
Z. T. Hallerton, Macon, Ga., writes:
“Three years ago I contracted a blood
poison. I applied to a physician at once,
and his treatment came neat killing me.
I employed an old physition and went to

and remained two months, but nothing
seemed to cure me permanently, although
temporary relief was given me. I returned
home a ruined man physically, with but
little prospect of ever getting well.' I was
persuaded to .try B. B. 8., and to my utter
astonishment’ it quickly healed every

THE OCALA PLATFORM.
We demand the abolition of natlona
banks.
We demand that the government shall
establish sub-treasuries or deposi
tories in the several States,which shall loan
money direct to the people at a low rate of
interest not to exceed two per cent per an
num, on non-perishable farm products, and
also upon real estate, with proper limita
tions upon the quantity of land and amount
of money.
We demand that the amount of the circu
lating medium be speedily increased to not
less than 850 per capita.
That we demand that Congress shall pass
such laws as will effectually prevent the
dealing in futures of all agricultural and
mechanical productions; providing a strin
gent system of procedure in trials that will
secure the prompt conviction, and impos
ing such penalties as shall secure the most
perfect compliance with the law.
We condemn the silver bill recently pass
ed by Congress, and demand in lieu thereof
the free and unlimited coinage of silver.
We demand the passage of laws prohib
iting alien ownership of land, and that
Congress take prompt action to devise some
plan to obtain all lands now owned by
aliens and foreign syndicates ; and that all
lands now held by railroads and other cor
porations in excess of such as is actually
used and needed by them be reclaimed by
the government, and held for actual set
tlers only.
Believing in the doctrine of equal rights
to all and special privileges to none, we
demand—■
a. That our national legislation shall be
so framed in the future as not to build up
one industry at the expense of another.
b. We further demand a removal of the
existing heavy tariff tax from the necessi
ties of life, that the poor of our land must
have.
c. We further demand a just and equi
table system of granuated tax on income.
d. We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much as possible
in the hands of the people, and hence we
demand that all national and State /evenue
shall be limited to the necessary expenses
of the government economically and hon
estly administered.
We demand the most rigid,honest,andjust
State aud national government control and
supervision of the means of public commu
nication and transportation, and if this con
trol and supervision does not remove the
abuse now existing, wa demand the gov
ernment ownership of such means of com
munication and transportation.
We demand that the Congress of the
United States srjbmit an amendment to the
Constitution providing for the election of
United States Setnators by direct vote of
the people of each State.
St. Louis Platform, 1892.
I. MONEY.
We demand a national currency, safe
sound and flexible, issued by the general
government only, a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, and that with
out the use of banking corporations a just,
equitable and efficient means of distribu
tion direct to the people at a tax not to ex
ceed 2 per cent be devised as set forth in
the sub-treasury plan of the Farmers’ Alli
ance, or some better system; also by pay
ments in discharge of its obligations for
public improvements.
We demand the free and unlimited coin
age of silver.
We demand that the amount of the cir
culating medium be speedily increased to
not less than fifty dollars per capita.
We demand a graduated income tax.
We believe that the tnbney of the coun
try should be kept as much as possible in
the hands of the people, aud we demand,
that all state and national revenues shall
be limited to the necessary expenses of
the government economically aud honestly
administered.
We demand that postal savings banks be
established by the government for the safe
deposit of the earnings of the people and
to facilitate exchange.
it. LAND.
The land, including all the natural
sources of wealth, is the heritage of all the
people and should not be monopolized for
speculative purposes, and alien ownership
of land should be prohibited. All lands
now held by railroads and other corpora
tions in excess of their actual needs, and
all lands now owned by aliens should be
reclaimed by the government and held for
actual settlers only.
in. TRANSPORTATION.
Transportation being a means of ex
change and a public necessity, the govern
ment should own and operate the railroads
in the interest of the people. The tele
graph and the telephone, like the postal
system, being a necessity for the trans
mission of news, should be owned and op
‘ erated by the government in the interest of
the people.
